Methodology & assessment

The course adopts a hands-on, project-based learning methodology, with participants engaging in interactive workshops, photography assignments, and group discussions. Through these activities, educators will explore how to integrate photography into their teaching practice and encourage students to express their learning visually. Participants will work both individually and in teams to create and share their photography projects, exploring different themes and techniques.

Assessment will be formative, focusing on creativity, engagement, and practical application. Participants will be assessed based on their involvement in activities, the quality of their photography projects, and their ability to integrate visual expression into their teaching practice. Ongoing feedback will be provided by peers and trainers throughout the course, with a final project where participants will design a photography-based lesson plan or activity to implement in their own classrooms.

Materials, digital tools & other learning resources

Participants will have access to a range of materials, including photography guides, project templates, and digital resources for photo-editing and visual storytelling.
